Regarding the retreat of the coalition forces, Nie Wuji, as the military division of the Zombie Legion, naturally saw it clearly. Regardless of how many doubts www.biquge.info Kill Wufei around him, Nie Wuji was determined to stand still this time! Why? Just one battle, an encounter with the human alliance, ended hastily when he had injured few enemies and lost a million troops! This was simply a shame for Nie Wuji!

Although the result was quite satisfactory, the zombie army successfully rushed out of the God Slaughter Wind, steadily occupied the area at the foot of the crater, and basically completed the most basic task assigned by Tianfu Jun before the war, but was beaten by Cao Ke, and finally let Cao Ke retreat calmly, which made Nie Wuji secretly make up his mind, that is, to use Cao Ke's head and the lives of all living creatures to sacrifice the glory of his military god, and let himself climb the highest peak of military command and the altar of honor again!

However, Nie Wuji's ideal is just an ideal after all! As smart as he is, of course he understands that if he wants to realize his ideal, he must do things step by step! Just like in front of him, the coalition army has won the first victory, the morale is high, and with the help of mysterious masters from the heavenly realm, most of the teams of the zombie army are still passing through the God Slaughter Wind. In the process of rushing down the crater, if Nie Wuji rashly launched the pursuit of the coalition army, first, it would be easy for the coalition army to ambush and stratagem, and second, it would also be easy to cause the entire zombie army to be disconnected and connected, increasing the possibility of being encircled and suppressed by the enemy separately! Nie Wuji is not the kind of person who can tolerate his defeat after defeat, and he will not agree to such a thing even if he dies!

In the face of Nie Wuji's insistence, there was no way to kill Wufei, after all, she was just a nominal prison soldier.

In this way, Cao Ke and the coalition army retreated under the nose of the zombie army! When the retreating could no longer see the shadow of the zombie army, Cao Ke gave an order, asking the coalition army to speed up the march and go straight to the nearest fortress to the crater.

And the fortress that Cao Ke and they were going to was the Copper Hammer Pass, which was known as the first male pass in the north of the dwarf race! I think that at the beginning, when the dwarf country was attacked by the dragon clan led by Naiosretta, it was by virtue of the defense of the copper hammer pass, that miraculously persevered for a week, dragging the footsteps of the wind dragon clan who were responsible for the northern raid of the Semir continent at that time, and almost wrote the most gorgeous poem of the battle against the dragon clan of other races other than humans and elves!

Time has passed, the dwarf country no longer exists, and the Copper Hammer Pass has become a ruin!

A few months earlier, Cao Ke had already foreseen the outcome of the coalition forces in the battle at the foot of the crater. In any case, the foot of the crater is not a very suitable place for defense, where in addition to the dense woods, is a flat plain, if the strength of the two sides of the war is equal, it is good to say, once one of them has a disadvantage in strength, then near the foot of the crater, for the weak side, is not a suitable battlefield!

"Defend according to danger"! This is a marching rule that everyone knows! Therefore, Cao Ke found the Copper Hammer Pass and set the Copper Hammer Pass as the first line of his real sense of blocking the zombie army!

With such a plan, Cao Ke naturally immediately contacted the Elf Queen and Prince Jingyun, asking them to rebuild the Copper Hammer Pass as soon as possible and in the shortest possible time! After receiving Cao Ke's request letter, the Elf Queen almost did not hesitate to send all her craftsmen and laborers to the Copper Hammer Pass day and night, repairing the city wall, paving the road, building barracks and organizing a safe and reliable supply channel! And the elven queen also specially told those artisan leaders to build the fortifications of the new Bronze Hammer Pass according to the drawings brought by Cao Ke's letter...... Everything must be carried out to the highest standards that are several levels higher than the specifications for which Taiswar was built!

Of course, Prince Jingyun, who received Cao Ke's letter at the same time as the Elf Queen, was not idle, the road was far away, if he sent laborers over to help build the Copper Hammer Pass, it would naturally be far from quenching his thirst, Prince Jingyun could only do his best to mobilize nearly eighty percent of the air force of the Tongtian Empire to send the most scarce materials and funds for the Elf Clan's reconstruction of the Copper Hammer Pass to the Elf Queen as soon as possible!

It was with the joint efforts of the Elf Queen and Prince Jingyun that just two days before the start of the Battle of Crater, the new Copper Hammer Pass was finally completed!

Since we have talked about this, we have to first explain the surrounding information of this so-called Copper Hammer Pass! The original Dwarven Empire actually lived in a huge basin, and it was surrounded by four towering mountain ranges that stretched for tens of thousands of miles, although these mountains restricted the communication between the Dwarven Empire and other races in the Sermir State to a certain extent, but they also became a natural barrier to protect the Dwarven Empire!

For example, if the Orc Empire, which is at odds with the Dwarven Empire, wants to send troops to attack the Dwarven Empire, it must first climb over one of the four mountain ranges, how easy is this? The shortest of the four mountain ranges is also more than 5,000 meters above sea level (except for the Copper Hammer Pass), and all the mountain ranges are already in a state of perennial ice and snow cover from the halfway point of the mountainside, not to mention whether the army will have any altitude sickness, physical discomfort and other bad conditions, but these ice and snow will at least bury the bones of the vast majority of people! Okay, even if you have the ability to climb over the mountains and enter the basin, then you don't have the physical strength to deal with the counterattack of the fierce dwarven army!

After talking about the importance of the mountain range to the Dwarven Empire, next, let's talk about this Copper Hammer Pass! The Copper Hammer Pass is located in the northeast of the Kenlus Mountains in the north of the Dwarven Empire, here, in the middle of the two towering peaks, there is a huge gap about 2,800 meters above sea level! It can be said that this huge gap is the easiest place for the entire four mountain ranges to enter the Dwarf Empire, so the dwarves are naturally located in this gap, relying on the cliffs on both sides, to build this famous Copper Hammer Pass!

Now, after the elven clan's non-stop work day and night, the new copper hammer pass has been completely resurrected, standing on its original post! The huge city wall that is 150 meters high, 478 meters long, and 72 meters thick lies between the twin peaks! On the city wall, every 10 meters of distance, there is a city-defending giant crossbow! Below each city-guarding giant crossbow is a storage warehouse of more than 10 square meters, which is stocked with a large number of special crossbow arrows for the city-defending giant crossbow! These bolts are connected to a cleverly designed transmission device, and once the bolt on the bolt is fired, the next bolt will automatically rise along the body and be placed in the bow slot of the bolt.

This kind of city-guarding giant crossbow is naturally a new type of giant crossbow transformed by the dwarf craftsmen in accordance with Cao Ke's requirements! Although the previous giant crossbow could also achieve the requirement of continuous firing, the amount of arrow trough reserves suspended on the crossbow machine is far from comparable with the current method of directly retrieving from the storage warehouse, which basically realizes the uninterrupted nature of the city-defending giant crossbow in normal battles! The terrifying lethality of the city-defending giant crossbow is brought into full play to the maximum!

Do you think that there are only these enhanced versions of the city-defending giant crossbow on this huge city wall? Then you are really wrong! Under the storage room of the city-defending giant crossbow, there are countless "invisible" rooms, from which a gap can be quickly opened to see the outside! And from these gaps, you can launch any attack method, such as bows and arrows, such as long knives, and for example, oil ...... that can make the city wall slippery

On the inside of the city wall, in addition to the proper bunkers, dozens of platforms have been erected, and on each platform, a well-made catapult is quietly parked! Obviously, these catapults are an effective supplement to the giant crossbows defending the city, and when launched together with the giant crossbows defending the city, the range of attack is larger, and the killing area is wider!

As for "why don't you put these catapults on the city walls, wouldn't it be easier to aim?" Such a question is also very simple to answer, that is, although the catapult's long-range attack power is quite good, short range, but can basically be ignored, once the enemy rushes around them, the catapult will only be slaughtered by others, it is better to simply set the catapult in the city wall, in this way, the catapult's defense area can not only be closer to the city wall, but also more effectively protect itself from the enemy! After all, the cost of a catapult is also very expensive.

In addition to these fortifications, the artillery array that Cao Ke had just invented and which shone in the encounter with the zombie army was naturally also indispensable! On the peaks of the peaks on both sides of the city wall, ten groups of three rows of this kind of artillery arrays were also built! Every gun port of these artillery arrays was oriented in the direction in front of the gate of the Copper Hammer Pass, and once the enemy approached within 100 meters of the Copper Hammer Pass, the artillery arrays on both sides could instantly form a differential firepower to cover the enemy and deal a fatal blow to the enemy!

The most fatal thing is that if you want to go up to the Copper Hammer Pass, you must also climb a steep slope hundreds of meters long, more than 10 meters wide, and more than 45 degrees from the surface! On both sides of the steep slope are higher and higher cliffs, and only the steep slope is the road that can most directly come to the city gate of the Copper Hammer Pass, under the city wall.

In other words, this steep slope is a very obvious conspiracy! If you want to capture the Copper Hammer Pass, you can only climb this steep slope first! And once you climb this steep slope, you will inevitably have to endure the sharp attacks of the dense fortifications! Under the dilemma, the command ability of the generals attacking the Copper Hammer Pass has been greatly tested, and the current Copper Hammer Pass has become the "first fortress on the mainland" in the true sense, far better than the one that was destroyed at the beginning!
